00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,560
The Way Out of Social Degeneration Worldwide

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:11,160
Since 2018, the economic crises, wars, cultural conflicts, and social polarizations

3
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:18,320
experienced both in Turkey and across the world, along with natural disasters and catastrophes,

4
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,920
have affected people more deeply than ever before.

5
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:27,880
Under the psychological burden created by uncertainty in living conditions,

6
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:34,980
economic pressure and social insecurity, people have become more intolerant and more lonely.

7
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,060
Mutual communication has weakened.

8
00:00:38,940 --> 00:00:43,400
People have begun to develop a more defensive attitude toward one another.

9
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:52,420
The erosion of love and respect has brought about a deep deterioration felt at every layer of the social structure,

10
00:00:52,420 --> 00:00:59,040
and it has now become inevitable to rebuild human bonds in order to stop this course.

11
00:00:59,900 --> 00:01:08,500
In societies where mutual love is not firmly established, a strong structure of unity and solidarity cannot emerge.

12
00:01:09,220 --> 00:01:11,860
People cannot gather around a common goal.

13
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,320
Social harmony weakens.

14
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:19,420
The relationship of trust between individuals gradually deteriorates.

15
00:01:19,420 --> 00:01:24,500
In such an environment, producing collective wisdom becomes impossible,

16
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:30,320
and it becomes difficult for sound judgment to prevail in social matters.

17
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:35,040
This lack of love not only paralyzes individual relationships,

18
00:01:35,540 --> 00:01:39,580
but also directly paralyzes the physical spheres of society.

19
00:01:39,580 --> 00:01:46,600
A tremendous stagnation appears in areas such as economy, science, art, and culture.

20
00:01:47,220 --> 00:01:49,060
People hesitate to take risks.

21
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,600
Productivity and innovation weaken.

22
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:57,380
Scientific curiosity and the desire for research are pushed into the background.

23
00:01:58,180 --> 00:02:03,160
Artistic production loses its courage, and the cultural world becomes shallow.

24
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:08,040
The sense of trust, which forms the foundation of economic growth,

25
00:02:08,540 --> 00:02:12,940
can never strengthen in environments where love and respect are absent.

26
00:02:13,700 --> 00:02:20,040
In places where love and compassion are weak, women cannot receive the value they deserve.

27
00:02:20,820 --> 00:02:22,820
Gender justice cannot be established.

28
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:28,420
The voices of women are silenced, and their spheres of freedom become restricted.

29
00:02:28,420 --> 00:02:35,740
A fundamental indicator of a healthy society is that women can exist freely, safely,

30
00:02:36,340 --> 00:02:38,680
and within an atmosphere of respect.

31
00:02:39,540 --> 00:02:43,960
Likewise, in societies where the culture of love has not taken root,

32
00:02:44,540 --> 00:02:47,480
democracy and freedom cannot truly exist.

33
00:02:48,260 --> 00:02:54,040
Real democracy becomes possible through the respect, courtesy, and empathy

34
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,460
that people show toward one another.

35
00:02:56,460 --> 00:03:00,280
Freedom, too, can only be protected through love,

36
00:03:00,920 --> 00:03:04,320
because a society that does not love cannot protect,

37
00:03:05,020 --> 00:03:09,720
and a society that cannot protect quickly loses its freedom.

38
00:03:10,460 --> 00:03:15,080
When love disappears, people become afraid to express their thoughts

39
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:19,260
and choose exclusion instead of understanding one another.

40
00:03:19,260 --> 00:03:23,300
In societies where mutual love is not established,

41
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,300
people cannot experience true love and true friendship,

42
00:03:28,100 --> 00:03:31,580
because instead of love, competition prevails.

43
00:03:32,260 --> 00:03:34,140
Instead of trust, suspicion.

44
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,540
Instead of loyalty, relationships based on self-interest.

45
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,880
In such an environment, disloyalty and faithlessness spread.

46
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:49,500
People become quickly offended with one another and easily abandon each other.

47
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:55,860
Individuals begin to see one another as rivals, which disrupts social harmony.

48
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:01,660
When love and trust do not exist, solidarity gives way to hidden struggles.

49
00:04:02,340 --> 00:04:05,840
People become unable to rejoice in each other's success,

50
00:04:06,260 --> 00:04:09,500
both in social life and in professional life.

51
00:04:09,500 --> 00:04:13,820
In such a structure, people cannot be happy or cheerful.

52
00:04:14,700 --> 00:04:16,960
The natural rhythm of life is disrupted,

53
00:04:17,340 --> 00:04:20,480
and a general pessimism prevails in society.

54
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,260
The most dangerous aspect of this deterioration

55
00:04:24,260 --> 00:04:27,960
is that people gradually become accustomed to it.

56
00:04:28,580 --> 00:04:30,960
Social coldness becomes normalized.

57
00:04:31,820 --> 00:04:36,600
Values such as love, respect, and compassion are seen as weakness.

58
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,740
Empathy is perceived as an unnecessary luxury.

59
00:04:41,660 --> 00:04:45,160
As a result, everyone actually becomes more isolated.

60
00:04:46,100 --> 00:04:48,920
The number of individuals who feel completely alone,

61
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,340
even within crowds, increases.

62
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,480
Love is the most essential quality of this world.

63
00:04:56,180 --> 00:04:59,280
At the very foundation of the creation of human beings,

64
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,620
and even of the universe, lies love.

65
00:05:03,380 --> 00:05:06,180
Approaching all created beings with love,

66
00:05:06,180 --> 00:05:10,480
is the only remedy that can solve all the problems on earth.

67
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:15,020
Where love exists, there is joy, happiness, peace,

68
00:05:15,500 --> 00:05:18,120
healthy individuals, and healthy societies.

69
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:24,180
Where love prevails, there is unity, abundance, trust, and security.

70
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,580
Everyone sees one another as a friend and a brother,

71
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,980
and protects and looks after each other wholeheartedly.

72
00:05:31,980 --> 00:05:36,120
One wishes for others what one wishes for oneself.

73
00:05:36,980 --> 00:05:43,060
Just as one thinks of one's own comfort, security, health, and happiness,

74
00:05:43,420 --> 00:05:48,400
one also thinks of the comfort, peace, and happiness of others.

75
00:05:49,060 --> 00:05:52,840
And tremendous peace and abundance arise all over the world.

76
00:05:53,660 --> 00:05:55,160
Love is the most invisible,

77
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,620
yet the most powerful bond that connects individuals to one another.

78
00:05:59,620 --> 00:06:02,620
When this invisible bond develops,

79
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:08,820
society gains the ability to exist together and unite around shared values.

80
00:06:09,020 --> 00:06:15,580
The true revival of societies occurs not through large changes imposed from the outside,

81
00:06:16,460 --> 00:06:20,340
but through this deep transformation that emerges from within.

82
00:06:20,340 --> 00:06:23,360
When mutual love is re-established,

83
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:25,560
anger in the world will diminish,

84
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:27,280
trust will strengthen,

85
00:06:27,900 --> 00:06:31,160
and solidarity and understanding will increase.

86
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,640
Polarizations will soften,

87
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:38,420
and people will display a more constructive approach toward one another.

88
00:06:39,180 --> 00:06:42,960
Today, humanity's greatest need, above all else,

89
00:06:43,340 --> 00:06:45,580
is a rebuilt mutual love.

90
00:06:45,580 --> 00:06:48,700
People's inability to tolerate one another,

91
00:06:48,700 --> 00:06:50,500
judging without listening,

92
00:06:51,220 --> 00:06:55,880
and seeing differences as threats have turned into an invisible destruction

93
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,940
that exhausts the spirit of societies.

94
00:06:59,580 --> 00:07:03,480
The solution lies not in complex political projects,

95
00:07:04,060 --> 00:07:05,700
heavy economic plans,

96
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,280
or sharp ideological changes,

97
00:07:08,900 --> 00:07:12,740
but in people once again approaching one another with love.

98
00:07:12,740 --> 00:07:16,640
The simplest yet most powerful path of transformation

99
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:22,400
is for human beings to look upon one another with love and compassion.

100
00:07:23,100 --> 00:07:24,340
As stated in the Quran,

101
00:07:25,100 --> 00:07:27,060
approaching one another with compassion

102
00:07:27,060 --> 00:07:29,380
is the only way for peace,

103
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:30,480
brotherhood,

104
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:31,700
and tranquility

105
00:07:31,700 --> 00:07:34,040
to flourish again on earth.

106
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:35,720
A good action

107
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,260
and a bad action

108
00:07:37,260 --> 00:07:38,500
are not the same.

109
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,320
Repel the bad with something better,

110
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:45,380
And, if there is enmity between you and someone else,

111
00:07:45,900 --> 00:07:47,880
he will be like a bosom friend.

112
00:07:48,420 --> 00:07:50,060
Zura Fusilat 34

113
00:07:50,060 --> 00:07:52,500
No matter whom you ask,

114
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:54,440
everyone's greatest longing

115
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,260
is a peaceful world

116
00:07:56,260 --> 00:07:59,300
where conflict and fights do not exist,

117
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:04,240
and where peace, trust, and solidarity prevail everywhere.

118
00:08:04,780 --> 00:08:07,780
All people eagerly await the day

119
00:08:07,780 --> 00:08:09,380
when love and brotherhood

120
00:08:09,380 --> 00:08:11,240
surround every corner.

121
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:12,540
When everyone,

122
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:14,440
whether acquainted or not,

123
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,680
greets one another in the streets,

124
00:08:17,260 --> 00:08:20,040
and when everyone sees each other as a friend.

125
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:20,540
as a friend.

126
00:08:20,540 --> 00:08:25,020
Now that's and and and and and and

127
00:08:25,020 --> 00:08:26,140
and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and

128
00:08:26,140 --> 00:08:26,660
and and and and and and and and and and…
